I have a page with two forms in for administration purposes, if the user wants to add a new item to the news page the form is shown where new=true. If they are editing the form is shown where edit=true. Both are identical forms just the edit version pulls the exisiting data into the form elements.

I have put the following above each of the 'copy' fields (1 in the 'new' form and 1 in the 'edit' field)

'Declare the ASP variables used
Dim strFormName
Dim strTextAreaName

'ID tag name of the HTML form the textarea is within
strFormName = "form1"

'ID tag name of HTML textarea being replaced
strTextAreaName = "copy"

%>

but get the error Name redifined Dim strFormName

i thought that this would not matter as the asp is choosing only one of the forms, the other is disregarded by a IF ELSE END IF statement.

The error means that you are declaring the variable twice.

You can only have 1 Dim statement for each variable.

In this case you need to remove one of the lines that has:-

Dim strFormName
